PHOENIX – HBI International, established independent producers of the RAW brand of plant-based rolling papers and innovative smoking accessories, today announced that the company is mailing out relief packages to help stores devastated by the recent hurricane get back on their feet.
RAW’s hurricane relief package includes new “RAW Smoked Here” signs, mega RAW packs, RAW brand floor mats, and other RAW accessories to restock stores affected by Hurricane Milton.
CBS News reports that at least 16 people have died as a result of the storm, with more than two million people without power across Florida as of Friday, October 11. Cleanup is now underway as residents deal with the aftermath of the storm. Many communities were still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Helene two weeks ago before Hurricane Milton came through.
“We packaged up some RAWESOME accessories and materials needed to help those affected by the storm get back on their feet quickly!” said Josh Kesselman, founder of RAW. “It’s going to be okay. We all get higher together!”
Kesselman announced on his Instagram (@rawkandroll) that the company is sending out 50 relief packages to stores devastated by the storm.
